Glory to God my soul Still sings.
Such sacrifice is what will assist in
winning this world for Christ; some can
go, others ought to give. Our growth
in grace depends upon our giving. A
missionary church is spiritual church,
but the missionary spirit must come in
larger measure upon the church of God
or we can never carry the Gospel to the

We are workers together with God.

A GOOD LAW.

Ohio people are highly pleased with
the operations of their Dow liquor law,
which taxes saloons 500 per year, and
allows local option. Governor Foraker
in recent letter. in reply to a request
for information by the New York Euen.
ing Post, has given this striking test.
mony to the efficacy of the Dow law:
"The law is now in complete and sue
cessful operation throughout the State.
The imposition of the tax has caused
many saloons to close. 1t would be
safe, perhaps, to estimate the number
that have closed on this account at as
many as three thousand, out of q total
of fifteen or sixteen thousand in the
State. Under the local option feature
of section H., prohibition has been
adopted in at least $50, and perhaps 200,
municipal corporations of the State, and
as result in all of these there is, or
will be in the course of time, absolute
prohibition. Under this feature of the
law probably two thousand saloons have
been closed. rhe law is very simple in
its character. 1t embodies the two
principles of taxation and regulation,
the chief feature being taxation and mu-
nicipal local option. License is prohib-
tied by our constitution, but if it were
not, am sure that in view of our ex-
perience our people would prefer taxa
ton, for the reason that it is similar and
in many respects answers the same pur-
pose, while freeing the State from all
appearances of completely with the bus
mess, as many claim is the case where
the State, by issuing license, grants a
right to engage in the business. So far,
the local option feature has worked very
well. While many towns have under it
adopted prohibition, many others have
voted it down. In other words, prohi-
bition has been declared only in those
communities where there is a public
sentiment to demand it, and to uphold
and enforce the law after it has been
adopted"

General &. T. Beauregard, in a four
column letter in the New Orleans Plea
yttne, replies to what he considers re
Elections on his course a: the battle o
Shiloh contained in the speech of thu
Hon. Jefferson Davis at the unveilin,
of the statute of General Albert John
ston in New Orleans. General Beaure
gard claims that he did the best he
could with men who were absolutely
worn out by hunger and fatigue. His
reply is severe, and discloses the exist.
ence of a bitter enmity between himself
and Mr.. Davis.
The Presbytery of st. Louis defends
the character of Rev. DIR. Marquis, the
moderator of the General Assembly,
from injurious charges in a certain tract
entitled Alcohol" The in urious
statement is as follows: "In due course

has fought this committee from its in

bytery. That gentleman was sent as
one of the commissioners to the Gen.
eral Assembly, where, to the surprise

The Law Will Stand.

Age of Steel: 1t is quite clear that the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
move deliberately in the performance
of its duties. Action thus far taken on
petitions, requests and hypothetical
cases presented for its consideration
shows this Enthusiastically.
In respect of section 4, the commission
will exercise the power of suspension
only after thorough investigation of
the hardships complained of, and only
after it is satisfied that the ordinary OPP
Grafton of the law is oppressive to an
extent that warrants an exception being
made in petitioners favor. Further
more, in all exceptional cases the COM
mission will give relief only as to the
traffic between specified points, and not
to any railroad in a general way. In
other words, the long and short haul
clause must stand.
This is interesting to the railroads,
and to the mercantile community as
well. 1t Is a notice to the former
that they have nothing to expect in the
way of exemptions; that if they have
purposely advanced their through rates
to the great injury of their traffic. in or
der to compass an object before the
commission, they have made a mistake.
The law will remain in force, so far as
the commission is charged with its adj
ministration, despite all efforts to undo
it by making it odious. Judge Cooley
spoke very plainly on this head when
he said the language and the tenor of
the act wholly fail to justify railroad
managers, if such there be, who refuse
TO accept responsibilities, decline to Of
fer rates, neglect to announce condi-
tons of traffic, embarrass the custom
airy interchange of business, and impose
stagnation upon trade, while they "stick
IN the bark" of the phrases and ex-
pressions of the law, inventing doubts
and imagining dangers. And still more
unjustiiable is it for railroad companies
to make use of the general clauses of the
law, ignoring its modifying and enlarg-
ing words and formulas, in order to inn
pose additional burdens upon localities,
trades, professions, manufacturers,
classes of travellers or employees, strain
ing and depressing every construction in
favor of the corporate treasury and
quoting the new law as their authority
for all manner of petty exactions. "The
powers of the commission are entirely
adequate to cope with such conduct, the
existence of which is not affirmed, al
though it has been somewhat publicly
suggested.
1t is impossible to mistake language of
this kind. 1t places the fact beyond
doubt that the commissioners are fully
informed with regard to the efforts some
of the railroads are making to render the
law unpopular, with view to sec urlng,
finally, its repeal.

w. w. BRADEN, STATE AUDITOR.

The Caledonia Argus publishes the
following from Auditor Braden:
81 know a man publishing small pa
per-did not set the type himself-dis-
tributed twelve copies through his home
postoffice, and purchased sixty copies
of the law supplement. The law al
lowed him 130 odd dollars. / did not
pay it. Accepted fair share of cussing
for it. l offered to pay reasonable
amount. l don't seek controversy, but
when law allows over So for each sup
plement a change may be suggested"
The Caledonia paper comments at
length and wants to know what other
newspaper men think of it.
In answer, the Waseca Herald has the
following to say:
Well, here goes. First, we think that
there are mighty few editors in Mime
sofa, or elsewhere, that are as honest,
as truthful or as capable as Capt. Bra
den. Second, we have no doubt at all
that the little creatures who have been
barking at his heels will some day hate
themselves for doing it. Third, we
think the State should continue to pub
lish the laws for the benefit of all the
people. Fourth, we think the expense
to the State for publishing them should
be reduced, by amendment of the law,
one-half, at least. Fifth, we think that
the people ought to re-elect the man
who has had the moral courage to at
tack the biggest combination in the
State, the local press, by telling them
the plain truth.
"Them's our sentiments" Capt
Braden has made the State of Mime
sofa one of the most competent anG
fearless officers ever honored with pc
sition, and he will not be condemned
by the people for expressing, in manly
way, when called upon, his opposition
to paying one paper about So per cop,
for publishing the laws, and one with ,
hundred times the circulation only l:
cents. This is kind of unjust discrim
ination that broad-guaged man lik,
Auditor Braden takes note of. And h,
is just the kind of man for Minnesot,
| to stand by.

NEARLY three pages of Rro''@.reet's this

markable boom in real estate in the
South and West during the past six
months. The article says:
The activity in real estate within six
months has been very conspicuous, the

extraordinary increase in the speculative
interest. The greatest activity has ruled

Fergus Falls Daily Journal: The Pho

discussion with the papers in southern

against the small towns in favor of st.

grounds that they are barking up the

they should attack. Now Fergus Falls

ming northwest of st. Paul, and that the
traffic show it. When the Pioneer has
convinced the southern Minnesota towns
that they want to bark at Chicago, per.
haps it could give the towns up this way
some advice. Fergus Falls is the largest
milling point between Minneapolis and
Portland and it has some interests which
ought to be fostered.
We want to say to our friend at Fer
gus that the Pioneer Press will have tt
produce other and more substantial
arguments than it has yet to convince
Southern Minnesota towns that they are
barking up the wrong tree. II is the
Pioneer Press that has got the wrong pii

INFORMATION WANTED.
Senator Pope Asks the Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioners to
Construe His Railroad Law.

E. M. Pope, president of the Business
Mems Association of the State of Min
nesota, referring to Gan act to regulate
common carriers and creating the rail-
road and warehouse commission, etc"
has written officially to ask the decision
of the board on the following questions:
First-Do the provisions of this act
apply to express companies in their
one station to another within the State
of Minnesota?
Second-Do the provisions of section
8, of said act, apply to such business?
Third-Do the provisions of this act
apply to telegraph companies who use
right of way of railroad companies on
such business?
Fourth-Do the provisions of this act
apply to telegraph companies on their
business from one place or station to an
other, both being within the State?
Fifth-Do the provisions of this act
apply to traffic on a line of the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad
between Duluth and stations on the line
of said road in Southeastern Minnesota

| SlXtn-DO the provisions OF SectlOn B
of this act require of each common car
rier subject to the provisions ST the act,
the publication of distance tariff
which shall be applicable to all its bust

being within the State of Minnesota?
senator Pope is the author of the bill
in question, and proposes to know
whether its provisions are to be con-
strued in such a manner as to bring
about the results which were intended.
Chairman Austin says the board will
give out no decision officially until a
case is presented and arguments made.
The commissioners may 60 as far as the
interstate commission and assume that
express companies are included and
then the companies or any one interest
ed may bring a case before them.
The State law, he says, is about the
same as the interstate law.
